Leeds United were, undoubtedly, provided with value for money after signing Raphinha in the summer of 2020. However, it is not just the Whites who have reaped the rewards of his development.
During his first season in English football, the 25-year-old remarkably registered 15 direct goal contributions while adapting to his new surroundings and would win a first call-up to the Brazil national team.
Raphinha became an even more pivotal figure at Elland Road last season despite a dip in team performance level. He scored 11 goals and, almost single-handedly, provided Leeds with the inspiration to mount a successful battle against relegation.
